Folding on AMD Radeon 8610G- Driver Problems
Posted: Thu Jul 07, 2016 3:47 pm
Trying to help my brother out with folding on his laptop- he's been folding with it for a few weeks already but only with the CPU and not the graphics. He has a Dell Inspiron M531R-5535, which uses an AMD A10-5745M APU with Radeon 8610G graphics. This is a reasonably powerful APU for a laptop and he could be making far more PPD if he were able to fold on it, but I can't seem to get it folding properly- whenever I start it, it downloads a work unit, sits there for a minute or so, and then returns a "BAD WORK UNIT" error, without having folded even 0.01% of the WU.
I've tried just about everything I could think of- reinstalling F@H, reinstalling F@H after removing all of the associated data, uninstalling and completely removing the AMD graphics drivers with driversweeper before installing the latest version, removing and re-adding the GPU slot- and nothing has changed it's behavior. I've reached the point where I'm at a complete loss.
I should add that he's running the latest FAHClient, v7.4.4, in a Windows 10 environment.
Now oddly enough, the update to the graphics driver didn't work at all. I've tried every method I could find to update the driver from 15.200.1045.0 to one of the 16.x drivers, and thought I'd finally done it by manually selecting "Update Driver" under the device properties in device manager, as it had shown it was successful and displayed the new driver installed as being that version, but now it's shoowing 15.2 again. My driver issues may be the cause of the folding problem. Any insights?
Here's the log, showing the GPU attempting to fold a work unit and failing before I paused and removed the slot. If I leave it going it will just download another WU and fail again, exactly the same way. The CPU works fine and you can see it starting to fold at the end of the log.
Does anyone else have a suggestion on how I might get this laptop folding on the GPU slot?

Does anyone else have a suggestion on how I might get this laptop folding on the GPU slot?
